Thought I recognized the art, I just finished Nisemonogatari and I'm still not used to Hanekawa's short hair. It's honestly surprising how much something so simple as changing hairstyle can have such a huge impact, it wasn't until like 15 minutes into the second episode before I even realised it was Hanekawa.
I have yet to start Monogatari: second season though, I should get on that as soon as I finish the other 20 shows I have on stand-by.
Thanks for reminding me that it existed.

I'm definitely excited. My birthday is in about a month and I'm going to ask for a 3ds specifically for Pokemon Y, animal crossing, and this. Those are my three favorite Nintendo series, so I'm pumped.

Thanks for the suggestions. One of my friends has uprising and I believe my cousin has mario kart 7, so I might ask to borrow those games from them. Luigi's mansion looks really cool so I might pick that up if I see it for a good price at the store, lol. Some other games for the 3ds I might be interested in are new super mario bros 2, super mario 3d land, and ocarina of time. As for super smash bros, Me and my 2 brothers will probably be splitting the price of a wii u, super smash bros u, and possibly pikmin 3 and wind waker hd once smash bros comes out.

That was actually the route the Zelda series almost took.
At first the original game was going to be about Link traveling between the past and future to collect the Triforce, which were going to be computer chips.

okay, then I'll go into specifics, Legend of a Zelda is a hack and slash high fantasy with a medieval setting, with the only difference being the wind waker line which moves more toward steam punk. Changing it into a grungy shade of the past fantasy not only breaks the very base of the series but destroys the base value which is of the lone knight off to save the world he loves, possibly into the "I am a badass and you can too.". quite frankly that is not the Zelda I want perpetrated in the future. I, and anyone who played a Legend of Zelda game before windwaker, want Zelda to continue to be the story of the chosen ones adventure in a land of (dying) magic, to save the princess, and restore both life and magic to the world.

The triforce of power allows any who wield it to gain whatever they want, including magic
The triforce of wisdom gives the knowledge of magic so one fights intelectually
The triforce of courage gives the will to traverse all dangers including magic. Link does use magic, but it's always given to him by other, more powerful magi.

he shoots magic arrows, and uses magic items, such as a leaf that can support any weight, masks that transform, music items that do things, etc. how would that translate into a modern theme. He would use slightly better technology than everyone else and would be masterchief in plainclothes

jI don't care if you can a great number of Ideas that worked. The legend of Zelda is a game steeped in magic and religion, that has always existed in magical realm where monster roam everywhere, where people are diverse, friendly and caring, and where the weirdos have the best lines.

the 3-4 main masks change your race. Its heavily implied that each of these masks takes a soul of a dead member of that race.
all the other masks give you abilities or let you talk to certain people.
probably better off googling it.

However, it is wildly speculated that the Fierce Deities mask once belonged to the Link of Termina, who was the villain of that realm, and when the Link of Hyrule passed through to Termina, the evil Link did the opposite. Thus Hyrule did get Link back before the great flood, but not as their savior...no...he was their very destruction.
